  • Windows is only better for you if you have a high-end Nvidia GPU and/or like having a good HDR implementation (KDE’s HDR support is a joke by comparison). If neither apply to you, then there’s no reason to ever use Windows.

    That said, from what I’ve seen since I joined Lemmy, most people here couldn’t give a single fuck about HDR. In fact, every time I even bring it up, I get nothing but hostility from the community (cause how dare I dual boot instead of using Arch fulltime? *sigh*).

    You’re missing out on a colorful image that more closely resembles real-life (clouds and sunsets look especially beautiful in HDR), but if you’ve never experienced it before then I can understand why the general opinion around here is that HDR is useless. I mean, I used to think that VA panels had good contrast and that IPS had superior colors, until I got a 4K144Hz HDR OLED… Hell, at one point I used to think that 60 FPS looked smooth too…

    Anyway, that’s the end of my little rant. You can go ahead and downvote me now.




  • Agree to disagree. I really hate this era of cars. Take a hot hatch, but make it as ugly as you can. Then make it as heavy as possible and slap an 80bhp iron block in there, that way you have the worst of both worlds in both power and fuel economy. But just for good measure, also give it a 3 speed transmission with no overdrive as one last final fuck you, just to make that the car is as slow—and gas mileage is as terrible as allowed by the laws of physics.

    The 70s was by far the worst era for cars, especially American cars.
